How to automate manual Excel files?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I am trying to understand how I can use Power Automate to automate my existing Excel files (which I manually update monthly). What is the best way to train/learn how Power Automate can automate my manual formulas/refreshes/etc.? 

 

Note, most of my manual Excel files leverage Atlas refreshes.

    You can use Power Automate to automate your existing Excel files by using the "Excel Online (Business)" connector to perform actions such as create or update a row, table, or worksheet in your Excel file. Additionally, you can use the "Get rows" action to retrieve data from your Excel file and perform certain tasks based on that data.

    To learn more about how Power Automate can automate your manual formulas and refreshes, you can start with the Microsoft Learn modules on "Automate your Excel workbooks with Power Automate". These modules provide step-by-step guidance on how to use Power Automate with Excel, including working with tables, refreshes, and more. Additionally, you can explore the Power Automate templates available for Excel to see examples of how others have automated their Excel processes.
